Qantas to reward big spenders in FF overhaul

Qantas to reward big spenders in FF overhaul
By admin


Qantas has overhauled its frequent flyer program in a move that will reward those who pay higher fares but disadvantage members looking for cheaper deals.

From July 1, Qantas said the number of points and status credits earned will better reflect the fare paid rather than how far people travel.

In an email sent to frequent flyer members last night, Qantas said: “Put simply, these changes will mean that you’ll earn more Qantas points and Status Credits when you choose more flexible fares.

“At the same time, we’re reducing the Qantas Points you’ll earn on our lower fares to reflect your spend.”

The carrier said the new system will create a “fairer, more simplified program”.

It reassured its nine million frequent flyers that the changes will not affect current balances.
